High-strength magnesium alloy (AZ31) reinforced poly-lactic acid (PLA) composite rods for potential application of bone fracture fixation prepared by plastic injection process on Mg rod.Thecomposities possess improved the interfacial bonding between poly-lactic acid and Mg rod due to the micro-anchoring which lead to better mechanical performance in Simulated body fluid solution.The present results indicated that this new PLA-clad Mg composite rods show good potential for biomedical applications.

AbstractPoly( -hydroxy acids), especially poly(glycolic acid) (PGA), poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and their copolymers poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) are novel class of commodity polymers, also used in biomedical applications. They can be synthesized with a controlled biodegradation rate and are biocompatible, bioresorbable and approved by US Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) for clinical use. Lactic acid polymers are developed in medicine (sutures, implants, orthopaedics, tissue engineering), pharmacy (controlled drug delivery systems) as well as in packaging, agriculture (mulch films, seed preservation), food applications, etc. The paper reviews recent literature data concerning lactic acid polymers synthesis (polycondensation, ring opening polymerization), physical (thermophysical, solubility, miscibility), mechanical properties, degradation behaviour, emphasizing on the poly(α -hydroxyacids) and lactic acid polymers applications in medicine and pharmacy.
